Kyle Cooke is speaking out following Amanda Batula’s headline-making romance with West Wilson — and while he’s not exactly thrilled, his focus is firmly on Amanda.
Just one day after Amanda confirmed their relationship, Kyle revealed he had already been given a heads up — and has been in contact with her since.
“I’m good, I’m actually really worried about Amanda, if I’m being honest,” he said. “I talked to her before their statement came out… and I talked to her last night.” Kyle told NYC-based journalist Adam Glyn in a TikTok video.
According to Kyle, the backlash online has gone too far.
“I understand people have all sorts of opinions… but from what I’m seeing she’s kind of getting cyber bullied.”
Still, he didn’t completely excuse the situation.
“Amanda knows that what she did was wrong,” he admitted. “And she’s trying to come to terms with it. But she is not well.”
While Kyle showed concern for his estranged wife, he had a very different tone when it came to West.
“All I know is West seems to be the kind of guy playing multiple women at the same time,” he said, adding that the public reaction has been uneven. “Somehow… people have decided that West deserves their follow. Meanwhile, they’re just lighting up Amanda.”
Kyle also hinted that the relationship may have been brewing longer than fans realize.
“It definitely makes me second guess a lot of things last summer,” he said. “At a minimum, just kind of how checked out she was.”
As for his own relationship with West, it doesn’t sound like they’re on great terms.
“He sent some half-assed text message,” Kyle revealed. “West is using the same charm he’s used on every other chick.”
Kyle even described the situation as “a mental mind f—k,” making it clear he’s still trying to process everything.
Meanwhile, Amanda and West have maintained that their relationship developed naturally over time.
“It was never our intention to purposely hide anything,” they said in a joint statement. “Given the complicated relationship dynamics… we needed a little space to process things privately.”
They added, “What’s developed recently was the last thing either of us expected… our connection grew out of a genuine, long-standing friendship.”
